There is no Constitution, Part I Introduction This is the final version of this paper. It was released in a limited fashion before that it could be checked for errors by numerous people. That has been done, and the additional information that has been added is a result of the comments that were returned to me. It should be noted here that while there were more than a few complaints about the information contained herein, there were no factual errors detected. This paper is now ready for general distribution. In the comments that were made, I admit to being shocked that most of them concerned the Masons, the Thirteenth Tribe, and, even more so, how few people understood/understand what ...
Judges escape public scrutiny on ethics

Kansas City Star - April 5, 1998 If you fear that the judge handling your federal lawsuit has a hidden conflict of interest, the law gives you a way to find out. Just scan the investments listed on his annual disclosure statement, a public document designed for that very purpose. Sounds easy, right? It's not. Court rules make reviewing the forms impractical. And by the time you see the first sheet, the judge will know you are snooping into his finances. When someone does discover a bona fide conflict, the judge need not fear punishment. Litigants file hundreds of complaints against judges each year, but they almost never produce so much as a reprimand. And district judges get their ...

Rigged courts, bribed judges, phony trials, extortion by lawyers, and over 2 million prisoners in the USA gulag by Les Sachs, drlessachs@lycos.com August 30, 2005 Banned in America Blogspot .... All world citizens should know how the corrupt USA legal system, is a danger to every traveler, visitor, and guest worker from overseas, and to every individual who takes the risky step of entering upon American territory. Just ask the overseas families of prisoners who were put to death inside the USA, with their embassies never even being informed that they were arrested - or the many foreign people serving hugely long prison terms in America, after they were jailed on flimsy tainted ...

If you will please pay attention to the dates included in these posts, you will see that the info has been around for quite some time, and, I assure you, the problem is getting worse, not better, largely through the ignorance of the people of America as to what is actually going on. Private prisons are a symptom, a response by private capital to the "opportunities" created by society's temper tantrum approach to the problem of criminality. Private Prisons: Profits of Crime By Phil Smith from the Fall 1993 issue of Covert Action Quarterly The above is NOT correct; it is largely a response to the media hype about crime, and the media hiding what is actually going on; the ...
America's Private Gulag

For those of you who truly do not understand Facism, the privatization of the nation's prison system(s) is a glaring example of where all of this is heading. America's Private Gulag by Ken Silverstein, January 1997 from the book; The Celling of America edited by Daniel Burton-Rose with editors of Prison Legal News Dan Pens and Paul Wright Common Courage Press, 1998 What is the most profitable industry in America? Weapons, oil and computer technology all offer high rates of return, but there is probably no sector of the economy so abloom with money as the privately-run prison industry. Consider the growth of the Corrections Corporation of America, the industry leader whose ...

Bush answers subpoena with FISA demand By Jon Ward August 21, 2007 MONTEBELLO, Quebec — The Bush administration yesterday signaled to Senate Democrats that it will provide the legal rationale for its domestic surveillance program if Democrats reciprocate by permanently updating the key law governing foreign spying. White House officials sent two letters to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, in response to a subpoena deadline set to expire yesterday. One letter asked for more time to respond, but a letter from Vice President Dick Cheney's office identified key documents that "may be responsive to the subpoena," in which Mr. Leahy ...

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group," : Franklin D. Roosevelt
That man knew of what he spoke, and he understood very well what was going on because he was at the center of it. But the next man knew even more, and said it plainer;
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power: Benito Mussolini
I have said on 4um before, and most did not agree, that the United States is a Facist state, but I simply did not have ...
Cheney has warrantless wiretapping documents, won't turn them over

Vice President Dick Cheney's office has in its possession more than 50 documents related to a congressional investigation of the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program, but Cheney's lawyer on Monday refused to hand over the documents in response to a subpoena. In a letter sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the vice president's lawyer, Shannen W. Coffin, identified dozens of presidential authorizations of the program and Justice Department memos on its legal justifications in Cheney's possession. Coffin refused to hand over the documents, citing a president's right to keep deliberations with his advisers private. ...

When secrets are secret

A COURT challenge to the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretapping program has run squarely into a comic-book caricature of a monolithic government slapping aside all challenges to its power by invoking the Kafkaesque distortion of the legal system inherent in the concept of "state secrets." This Bizarro World tableau, playing out for real in a federal appeals court in San Francisco, is far more menacing than it is entertaining, however. Indeed, it threatens the very foundation of the American system of justice. When the defendants in a criminal action cannot see the evidence against them on the grounds that the evidence itself is a secret, the Constitution is being ...

08/20/07 "CNA"- - -The history of Cuba during the last 140 years is one of struggle to preserve national identity and independence, and the history of the evolution of the American empire, its constant craving to appropriate Cuba and of the horrendous methods that it uses today to hold on to world domination. Prominent Cuban historians have dealt in depth with these subjects in different periods and in various excellent books which deserve to be readily available to our compatriots. These reflections are addressed especially to the new generations with the aim of helping them learn about very important and decisive events in the destiny of our homeland.

Guantánamo in Germany In the name of the war on terror, our colleagues are being persecuted - for the crime of sociology Richard Sennett and Saskia Sassen Tuesday August 21, 2007 The Guardian 'Terrorism" has two faces. There are real threats and real terrorists, and then again there is a realm of nameless fears, vague forebodings and irrational responses. The German federal police seem to have succumbed to the latter: on July 31 they raided the flats and workplaces of Dr Andrej Holm and Dr Matthias B, as well as of two other people, all of them engaged in that most suspicious pursuit - committing sociology. Dr Holm was arrested and flown to the German federal court in ...
Military Interrogators are Posing as Lawyers at Gitmo

Military interrogators posing as "lawyers" are attempting to trick Guantanamo prisoners into providing them with information, The Catholic Worker (TCW) reports. This incredible and illegal practice contributes "to the prisoners' suspicions that the (real) lawyers are not to be trusted and could be aiding the government," TCW says in its July issue. This subterfuge is only one of the many treacherous tactics the government is employing to sabotage the efforts of lawyers to represent their clients. As Newsday, the Long Island, N.Y. daily, reported: "The military has set up a system that delays legal correspondence for weeks and requires lawyers from around the ...

Excuse Us, Nancy Pelosi We Were There for You, But You've Let Us Down By DAVE LINDORFF It's not just the Constitution that's suffering because of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's nutty and unprincipled "impeachment-off-the-table" position blocking any effort to impeach President Bush or Vice President Cheney for their many crimes and abuses of power. Her position on impeachment is helping to kill the Democratic Party too, by driving away not just progressive members of the party, but independents who voted for Democrats last November expecting some action in defense of the Constitution as well as stopping the war. I see this anger welling up among progressives and ...

Schlozman Leaves Justice Department By Paul Kiel - August 20, 2007, 5:02 PM Bradley Schlozman, a former Justice Department official who was at the center of the U.S. attorneys scandal and is under investigation by the Departments inspector general for his alleged efforts to politicize the Civil Rights Division, has finally left his post at the Department. After he left his position as the U.S. attorney in Kansas City this April, Schlozman moved to the Justice Department office that oversees all U.S. attorneys. Reached on his cell phone today, Schlozman confirmed that he'd left the Department last week, but refused to say anything more and then hung up. Before being tapped as the ...

Bush Seeks to Boost Canada, Mexico Ties

President Bush, tending to relations with two border nations, will try to give a boost Monday to his partnerships with the like-minded leaders of Canada and Mexico. Bush's two-day summit with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon is the third of its kind during his presidency. Each one has been meant to bolster an evolving compact - dubbed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America - that serves as a way for the nations to team up on health, security and commerce. Yet for Bush, the event also allows him to show he does not take his neighbors for granted; they are both vital trading partners and energy providers for the U.S. ``The ...
Is Justice possible after torture?

The U.S. decision five years ago to torture detainees has infected a generation of terrorism cases where it might have once been possible to do justice -- but may not be anymore. While Washington was preoccupied last week with expanding the executive branch's warrantless surveillance powers, Jane Mayer's latest article (featured in the Aug. 13 issue of The New Yorker) offered a chilling reminder of how the current administration has exercised its intelligence-gathering powers so far. Members of Congress who will take up such questions again this fall would be wise to add Mayer's piece to their summer reading list. For among the article’s many disturbing descriptions of ...
Padilla Jury Opens Pandora's Box

José Padilla's conviction on terrorism charges on Aug. 16 was a victory, not for justice, but for the U.S. Justice (sic) Department's theory that a U.S. citizen can be convicted, not for committing a terrorist act but for allegedly harboring aspirations to commit such an act. By agreeing with the Justice (sic) Department's theory, the incompetent Padilla jury delivered a deadly blow to the rule of law and opened Pandora's Box. Anglo-American law is a human achievement 800 years in the making. Over centuries law was transformed from a weapon in the hands of government into a shield of the people from unaccountable power. The Padilla jury's verdict turned law back ...

Rockwell's Thirty-Day Plan Ludwig von Mises Institute By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. August 19, 2007 When Eastern Europe broke free in 1989, we all realized just how little thought had been given to the transition from socialism to capitalism. Mises had told us the collapse was coming, and we should have been prepared. As America comes to resemble a command economy, we need a transition plan here too. Yuri Maltsev proposed a "One-Day Plan" for the U. S. S. R. We're not in that bad a shape (yet), so we could do it in 30 days. DAY ONE: The federal income tax is abolished and April 15th is declared a national holiday. The 40% reduction in federal revenues is matched by a 40 ...

The settlement ends a suit brought by a Texas couple and the American Civil Liberties Union, claiming the couple's First Amendment rights were violated when they were arrested and removed from a taxpayer-funded event featuring President Bush because their shirts read "Love America, Hate Bush" and "Regime Change Starts at Home." Jeffery and Nicole Rank refused directions from event staff and law ...
